...speed and efficiency with which the Soviet army had moved. No one could be sure of what would now happen in Eastern Europe. Would Rumania be next on Moscow's list? Nor was it clear how, if at all, Moscow's new preoccupation with events in Eastern Europe would affect the Viet Nam negotiations. What the invasion and the U.S. re sponse (or nonresponse) to it proved once again was one hard fact: the U.S. and Russia still live, as they have with some modifications since World War II, at the center of their own spheres of influence.

The meaning of great film exists ultimately not in the script mechanics but in the treatment of script mechanics by distinct camerawork and editing.
